Growing fresh garlic

[MileHighGrowler]

Nice! I have not grown garlic (or any other underground vegetable). Since it's so dry and the sun is very intense in Colorado (and my shady areas aren't conducive space-wise for planting), I tend to focus mostly on hot peppers in my garden every year. Tomatoes, beans and sweet peppers don't do well for me in my space. I've had some success with squash, but they have been started inside (either from seed or small plant) well before planting season or they don't produce fruit until late enough in the year that frost is a concern. Obviously, the pumpkin farms all pull it off, but I've had to start them in April or May because waiting till June doesn't always give them enough time if we got the first freeze in September. The amount of hail we get every summer makes gardening here hard as well. But those hot peppers are hardy and I end up with some interesting hot sauces and salsas all year as a result!

Curious to hear how your garlic experiment goes. I had a similar thought recently when I saw some sprouting garlic, so I'm curious what you discover on ease and yield.
